Kare short film cgi breakdown | Danial Farhadi

Proud to share the CGI Breakdown for Kare, my latest independent short film. This isn’t just visual effects — it’s handcrafted storytelling. Every frame was built from scratch, using traditional 3D and compositing techniques across Cinema 4D, Foundry Nuke, After Effects, and DaVinci Resolve. No AI shortcuts. No templates. Just thousands of decisions, keyframes, and sleepless nights. Kare is a film where technology is not the hero — it’s merely the language I use to ask bigger questions about who we are, how we see the world, and how our perceptions trap us. The CGI elements in Kare are subtle, almost invisible at times, serving only to enhance the emotional and philosophical weight of the story. I’m sharing this breakdown because I believe in showing the real work behind the frames. If we don’t show how much craft and artistry goes into independent filmmaking, people might assume it’s just “AI magic.” It’s not. This is human-made. Frame by frame. Pixel by pixel. Vision by vision. Let me know your thoughts, and feel free to connect if you’re passionate about merging technology and storytelling.
